Start conference in Suppression Mode

Question

Hello,
I want to start conference in suppression mode.
I like to generate meeting URL upfront, so that I can communicate that to other participants.
And, currently I don't want to make use of UCMA to achieve this functionality.

It's kind of a hack, but just create a conversation and add a few bogus participants to it. Then try to connect it. The fact that you have 3 or more contacts in the conversation will force it to be a conference, but then the bogus participants will fail
to be invited and get removed.
Conversation c = _client.ConversationManager.AddConversation();
c.AddParticipant(_client.ContactManager.GetContactByUri("[email protected]"));
c.AddParticipant(_client.ContactManager.GetContactByUri("[email protected]"));
c.Modalities[ModalityTypes.AudioVideo].BeginConnect(arbc =>
c.Modalities[ModalityTypes.AudioVideo].EndConnect(arbc);
}, null);
